discobanshee Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) :dance:ok 30 pds is a bit to much how about a nice 5lb loss or bolt on that saves weight Edited May 31, 2005 by discobanshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badshee98 Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 take your front brakes off. get a chromoly swingarm with a honda-style carrier(good for @12-15 lbs on my bike) get a cutting tool and start cutting off any brackets you aren't using. take off the front bumper take off the grab bar take your lights off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonspeeding42069 Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 get light weight axle rims and tires this will cut off alot of poundage light weight rims (cut) and light weight sand tires cut front rims take off coolant rezzy take off all electrical junk u dont need lights, turn key , brake light , ect... if u are over weight like me try trimming down a lil that would be the easiest way lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badshee98 Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 for a budget lighter axle, get a 03 and up Blaster axle. Goes right in the stock carrier. as far as not drinking beer, going fast ain't THAT important. You could just swerve at him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellison445 Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 The price you will spend on a axle,rims & tires you might as well just get a port job...Then you will smoke him for a budget lighter axle, get a 03 and up Blaster axle. Goes right in the stock carrier.as far as not drinking beer, going fast ain't THAT important. You could just swerve at him... 376263[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 If the 450 has a pipe and filter; jetted properly and he is a good rider...he'll probably beat you if all you have is a pipe and boost bottle. You're gonna need more than shaving a few pounds here and there. Take ellison's advice, get a port job, probably cheaper than buying the wheels and axle and you'lll notice a BIG difference in power.
